In System Preferences/Language & Region is Chinese listed as a Preferred language?

No. English is the only language listed in that area.

Hi,

Do they appear to be Chinese characters at your end or do they arrive as Chinese characters ?

If your Contacts see Chinese Characters when you have sent something else it might be because they don't have the Font you sent the message in.
